Red Willow Creek Valley (Geographic Keyword)
1-2 (2 Records)
A total of 29 samples were examined for the presence of organic material suitable for radiocarbon analysis. These samples were recovered from four natural bank exposures along Red Willow Creek downstream of Red Willow Dam in southwest Nebraska. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. A total of 13 radiocarbon dates were obtained from charcoal and wood fragments to help establish the chronology of Holocene alluvium and...
ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF SAMPLES FROM SITES 25FT54, 25FT56, 25FT354, AND 25RW1, RED WILLOW CREEK VALLEY, NEBRASKA (2011)
Ceramic sherds (some with visible residue), charcoal, charred corn kernels, and a bone fragment from sites 25FT54, 25FT56, 25FT354, and 25RW1 in the Red Willow Creek Valley of southwestern Nebraska were submitted for organic residue analysis, identification, and/or AMS radiocarbon dating. The ceramics were tested for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to identify probable contents of the residues. Charcoal identification reveals the types of wood burned as...
